For Sale: 1987 BMW Alpina B6 in Katwijk, Netherlands

Alpina B6 3.5, 1987. Three owners, 159,940 km, service books from new.

Buchloe. A sleepy little town in Bavaria that most people simply drive past on their way to the Alps, never knowing that something is going on there that bears no comparison to any other factory. Because Buchloe is home to Alpina, and Alpina is no tuner. Put that word out of your mind. A tuner takes a BMW, cranks up the boost, sprays it orange and bolts on a set of wheels that makes half the warranty evaporate. Burkard Bovensiepen did something altogether different: he took a BMW and built it the way BMW really should have, but didn't dare to. Calmer on the outside, more serious on the inside, faster in all the ways that matter. So gentlemanly that at a certain point BMW said: tell you what, you can have your own type approval and your own chassis number. A BMW with a WAPB number on the plate. That is not a souped-up car. That is a marque in its own right.

The story continues on our website, where the full file is kept as well. 97 photographs. The service history, scanned in full. The Carfax report. Paint thickness measured panel by panel. A timeline from 1 September 1987 to today, with every owner and the mileage year by year in a single graph.

Every car here follows the same route: first pre-market, then the showroom, and finally the online auction on our own website.
